won't permit you to get me down
because I'm on my stride
and I'll keep my pride
no time for you to analyze
don't try to read my mind
you'll never get it right
prejudice makes us less
and I
I will not be defined
I will not justify
feelin' blessed and serene you see
cuz I believe in me
just wait and see
it's showtime
turn it on gonna see me shine
i won't stop
i'm the one starring in my life
it's go time
starting right now
watch me take a bow
it's so hot
livin' large standing in the light
i won't drop
gonna get to the finish line
it's showtime
starting right now
watch me take a bow
people freak when they think you're weak
because you change your mind
just take another try
my decisions are mine all mine
since when is that a crime?
I'm gonna be just fine
win or lose it's for me to choose
I feel like breakin' rules
I won't be no one's fool
right or wrong, bring it on
cuz I
i've only got one life
just one life
(refrain)
can you listen to this
without your prejudice
gotta follow your heart
or you'll keep us apart
won't you open your mind
